I am very much enjoying this show. Thank you guys for doing it. From South Carolina, USA. My favorite parts of this video were: the mill. That was a beautiful stone mill. We have one near me, but made out of wood. It is a working grist mill from about 1840, now a historic site open to the public. I am a volunteer there. I also enjoyed following the beer making and the wheat threshing.
My dad and I still turn the soil in the garden with shovels as it cuts through the stalks and leaves of last years plants much easier than a rototiller. Plus, we do not have to remove the vines that wrap around the tines of the tiller.
I'm surprised that they didn't pre-soak the salted fish a day or two in advance and change out the water a few times for fresh water so that the excess salt used for the purpose of preservation could be removed from the fish. That's how the Basques, the Portuguese, and the Norwegians prepare their salt cod prior to cooking.
They explained how the water sources could be dodgy if they didnt have a natural spring on their land. It seems like they dont, and thats why they did it this way.
@@willi5029 They were referring to more developed areas where tanners and the likes would be dumping stuff in the rivers. Plus it wouldn't matter for just soaking the fish, just drinking the water directly.
Yea, but i think they were kind of emulating that. That their homestead is only a few miles from town centers that have this sort of contamination. I could be wrong though
Ive eaten salt fish for 50 years. You may want to soak your salted fish in fresh water for 6 hrs before changing that water for more fresh water to soak for a few more hours and so on. I can only imagine how tough and salty that must have been.
Its said being a Miller was a very dangerous job. Not just the moving parts of the mill. But after several hours of grinding a fine dust of flour hung in the air. One spark could cause a massive explosion. This is still a danger in modern flour mills. The last explosion happened in the 1980s
This woman again, She is proving the value of a good skill set and what it meant. If she could grow Tutor pipe cannabis she would be a real keeper. The men almost seen like labor where she seems more skilled.

@@staceystar2984 I have been watching them, That is why I say she is the VIP. You almost get the feeling without that family unit there would be no family unit.
@@staceystar2984 Part the actor but a lot of wow women really had to do all the smart work back then to make life livable while the men did the hard labor resource management.
I understand what they mean with the digging. I jus recently had to put my 13 ur old German Shepherd to sleep n instead of cremating her, we decided to bring her home for burial. My son helped me a bit but he had school the next morning so he went in early.. I was outside digging tht damn hole till midnight. I dug down about 4ft, I had to literally climb out. When I was kid I had to do the same thing in the winter time when our other Shepard had passed. I have no clue how I did that.
I'm sorry for your loss. I had to put down my 19yr old cat last Spring. I feel blessed to have had so much time with him, but miss him terribly, always.
I think your pig yokes are bang on accurate, just not implemented properly. What makes me think that, is that lots of machines like tractors, before modern PTO shaft links, used something called a pig yoke to connect the rotational power of the drive shaft to the implement. They look exactly like what you put on your pigs. I can only assume they were named after what they looked like to the farmers using them.
Historians claim that trenchers and pie crusts weren't eaten , but it seems wasteful and just can't believe ground grain was thrown out. Sailors survived on hard tack that was basically trenchers
Those crusts and trenchers also represented hours and hours of hard work just to make the flour. There is no way they were discarded. If it were me, I would re-use them in another dish like soup, porridge, etc.
Your pile of wheat was too tick to much bounce saw my gfather doing rye in Normandy he would only hit the heads so the straw was left unbroken to use for roofing
For anyone chasing piglets. They go to the corner face first. Get a back leg and hang on. Any of my grandkids at 8 or so have no problem with putting them in a trailer to wean.
As a Stewart myself this makes me really proud to know that my blood line has always know how to survive and thrive and help others with our wisdom . NAMASTE
RE: Winnowing grain. Wouldn't it have been easier to stand on something a few feet above the ground and pour the grain down into a container, letting the breeze carry off the chaff? Tossing it looks back breaking!
ok I'm just curious when threshing the wheat, why would you not chop off the stalks, so you're only threshing the part with the seeds, instead of threshing the stalk too?
"Ayyyyyyy! Time to do the threshing, Ritchie. Keep that thresher flail from my leather jacket." They'll need Potsy and Ralph Malf to help finish the work.
In America, some animal rights groups are trying to stop the industrial practice of keeping the pregnant sows contained in small spaces. It would cause extra work and the price for pork would skyrocket, if they are allowed to move and are treated more humanely. They will fail though and pigs will fly before the Supreme Court of the United States rules in the Activist's favor on this case.
They have some sort of fan or air system in this house because those candle flames were blowing like crazy. Oh, they are suppose to be living according to the time period? Some what "not!"

Short conversation from the rarely seen family member at 26:02 earned a sub. Will always sub to hear such wisdom.
"We're nearly there"
Pig: *RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Im so impressed by all these incredibly interesting documentaries
Thank you so much from Australia

This is how they preserve the Brits.
Can’t get enough of these with Ruth Goodman in them!

10:26 that stare lol
I like Stewart. I wish he had been in other Farm series.
I love this!!! My ancestors were sailing to the New World at this time.
My ancestors were in Cornwell and Scotland at this time but they were both bound for Australia in the 1820's (Australia settled in 1788)
Excellent

That's some heavy garden soil!
Also, companion planting would cut down on pests.

A lot of good women grew cannabis, great pain killer when there wasn't even aspirin.
@@shinnam they would have used willow bark which was the source for aspirin later on.

These forks they are putting around the pigs necks look so heavy. I've seen them here in South America too, but much lighter built.
I'd like to see this done with Monty Python as the crew.
Oh. Gawd. 😱😱 🤣🤣😂😂

The stuff was like plaster, it wasn't really editable like modern pie doughs.

Love it!
"Hazard" has this much in common with "craps". You "make your point".

And then here you are. More than likely obese and lazy wishing you could do half of what your ancestors did.
Back in that time you woulda got a arrow in the belly for wasting all that grain!!!😂😂

Just two lads beating the hay in the barn..

Love the history and the living on less lessons
On the next episode, Gout and the Black Plague
isn't the salt fish supposed to be soaked in water to remove extra salt and help texture before cooking?
Haha the man forgot to soak the cod fish.🤣
So happy my encestres are French.
Wine is way better for me.
.........would that be Geraint Thomas of the Onen Fawr farm........?
Ale is a type of yeast like lager. Both are beer.
19:00 looks like the "Yoke" is on you
22:27 Cat.
I don’t know if I could make it lol.
Don't use tillage. Save your back 😊
You can’t spray like vinegar on them with tobacco mixed in or something
Fun fact: pigs have the intelligence of a human 5 year old. So treat them right cuz they r smart.
BRUH I just want friends who will period roleplay with me
if the water was contaminated wouldn't the beer be contaminated? inquiring minds want to know!
Fermentation produces alcohol which kills germs.
Boiling kills off bacteria
@@laurieb3703 yes, but it doesn't get rid of industrial contamination.
Maybe consult with a structural engineer
Peasants couldn't afford that service.
Piglets 3....Farm Boys goose egg....
What are they calling Peter? Fonz?!
"Ayyyyyyy! Time to do the threshing, Ritchie. Keep that thresher flail from my leather jacket." They'll need Potsy and Ralph Malf to help finish the work.
"Standard Pig noise" Yeah that is the noise when it believes it's in jeopardy. You'd be making the same noise.
In America, some animal rights groups are trying to stop the industrial practice of keeping the pregnant sows contained in small spaces. It would cause extra work and the price for pork would skyrocket, if they are allowed to move and are treated more humanely. They will fail though and pigs will fly before the Supreme Court of the United States rules in the Activist's favor on this case.
The woman did everything
Ah right, because digging and threshing is "nothing" 🙄
All right, sorry, inappropiate, but Chloe is cute as a button.
We make booze
Inappropriate, sorry again.
They have some sort of fan or air system in this house because those candle flames were blowing like crazy. Oh, they are suppose to be living according to the time period? Some what "not!"
The house is not air tight, any slight breeze outside can make it inside, and it doesnt take much to make candle flames flicker around.
Do you know how a candle works?
Another “gotcha” ass on board. Relax, Ace.
The windows were open.
